24 hours after a 0-1 league defeat at Aston Villa, United were in action at the Stoke Road ground of Coventry - who had changed their name from Singers FC earlier in the year. 

2-0 ahead at the interval, the Magpies were awarded an 88th minute penalty that an unidentified player placed wide - possibly on purpose, at least according to the Coventry Evening Telegraph correspondent.

By the following September the hosts had relocated to Highfield Road - a ground that Newcastle wouldn't visit competitively until November 1936.

Team: Kingsley, Lindsay, Jackson, Ghee, Ostler, Stott, Rogers, Stevenson, McFarlane, Aitken, Wardrope.

What was then a record attendance at Elland Road saw the first leg of a win double over Leeds - Newcastle then winning 1-0 at SJP on New Years Day.

The visitors got off to a great start when Tommy Urwin finished off a free kick from point-blank range after just 90 seconds.

The hosts levelled before Stan Seymour seized on a loose ball in the box and beat Ashington-born 'keeper Jimmy Potts - a relative of future Magpie Jackie Milburn.

For anyone who thought the phrase "dirty Leeds" originated during the Revie era, "Hereward" in the "Chronicle" wrote of the home players that "man and ball were taken without any attempt at disguise."

Newcastle lost by the old goal in three to Wednesday for the second time that season, but Harry Bedford spurned the chance to salvage a point when he missed the target with an 80th minute penalty.

Veteran Jimmy Seed netted a brace but the Durham-born forward sustained knee ligament damage that would prompt his retirement soon after.   

1930 Newcastle Reserves were beaten for the first time in 20 North Eastern League games, going down 1-3 to Darlington in front of 4,000 fans at Feethams.

United's Joe Devine was dismissed after reportedly fouling two home players in the same tackle!

United were unable to follow up a 3-0 home win over the Bluebirds 48 hours earlier, but took a third successive point at Ninian Park.

1952 On Tyneside meanwhile, over 10,000 fans saw Jackie Milburn make a successful comeback from a three month injury layoff.

The centre forward led the attack against Leeds United in a Central League game at Gallowgate.

Charlie Crowe was on target for the hosts as it finished in a 1-1 draw.

Imlach(32,37), Wilson(47)

Following a 3-0 win at SJP the previous day, Forest completed the double over United at the City Ground.

1965 An unfit pitch at SJP saw the postponement of the derby match less than two hours before kickoff - Newcastle not bothering to call in a local whistler and waiting instead until the match referee turned up from Sheffield before giving it the thumbs-down. 

Two Alan Suddick goals gave the hosts a 2-0 success when the fixture was played the following March.

Old boys Trevor Hockey and George Hope were in the visiting line-up and they both played their part in a first SJP victory since 1966.

Cannell(41), Kennedy(83)

Newcastle's unbeaten start to the season at Gallowgate was extended to ten games, thanks to victory in what was the first competitive derby since 1970.

Gordon Lee's side ended the day in fifth, while the red and whites remained bottom of the table; visiting fans greeted with chants of "you're going down again" and "where's the Roker roar?"

1980 Derby County (h)

There was never any doubt about the result after Stuart Boam headed past his own 'keeper Kevin Carr. 

And things got no better when defender Kenny Mitchell departed on a stretcher with ankle ligament damage after just 20 minutes.

Roy McFarland added a second for the Rams and further Rams goals could have followed, with forward pairing Alan Biley and Dave Swindlehurst looking dangerous all afternoon.

1982 Derby County (h) 
1-0 (0-0)
Division Two
Gayle(65)
30,559
An eventful afternoon at Gallowgate saw Rams 'keeper Steve Cherry save a Kevin Keegan penalty and Ian Dalziel dismissed before half time.

Almost total United pressure failed to bring about a breakthrough until Kenny Wharton chipped into the box and Chris Waddle's header blocked by Cherry. 

However Howard Gayle was lurking and the on-loan Liverpool youngster netted his first Magpies goal from close range.

1983 Carlisle United (a)

Waddle(18)

This should have been a routine victory after Chris Waddle had opened the scoring, but three shots then passed by United 'keeper Martin Thomas in such a fashion that a Toon fan got to him and started swinging punches before being dragged away.

Ex-Mags Tommy Craig and Alan Shoulder both found the net against their former employer.

1986 Watford (a)

Barnes(10)

Just 24 hours after losing 0-4 at home to Everton, an unchanged United were in action again. Future Magpie John Barnes hit the only goal for the Hornets. 

1995 Manchester United (a) 0-2 (0-1)
Premier League
Cole(6), Keane(53)
42,024 
The Magpies remained top of the table but their lead over the Red Devils was cut to seven points rather than the thirteen that an away win would have brought.

Andy Cole and Roy Keane scored the goals that gave the title challengers victory on a rock hard Old Trafford pitch.

Ex-Red Devil Keith Gillespie was injured for Newcastle in a tackle by Phil Neville and would miss the next six games.

"The circus came to town but the lions and tigers didn't turn up" lamented Kevin Keegan, referring to his toothless attack.

2007 Press reports in his native South Korea claimed that striker Jae-Jin Cho was poised to sign an 18-month contract at SJP.

Cho travelled to Tyneside for talks and trained with the team but no deal was struck with his club Shimizu S-Pulse of Japan.

Similar trials with Fulham and Portsmouth followed early in 2008, before he joined Jeonbuck Hyundai Motors in South Korea.

2007 Newcastle midfielder Joey Barton was arrested after an incident in Liverpool during the early hours. 

Charged with common assault and affray, he was remanded in custody awaiting a court appearance.

The incident came hours after Barton was omitted from the squad for United's game at Wigan and forced to watch from the stand - manager Sam Allardyce preferring Geremi.

Sterling(31)

City's march towards the title continued at SJP as United took the term "rearguard action" to new heights, with a performance that at best lacked ambition.

Restricting the Champions-elect to just one goal, the host ventured forward for the last 15 minutes and almost equalised.

Newcastle ended their yearly home campaign with an eventful draw, as the visitors left with an undeserved point.
